"I miss you already, which I guess I shouldn't say with 9 days to go. But I'm glad you are out having fun with friends and family."
"I know, I miss you too :-)"
She felt a warm sensation come over her heart, and she knew she was done overthinking. This was the good place, and she wasn't going to waste it.
She awoke the next morning and it automatically opened to the message: "I know, I miss you too."
Today, no matter what happened, was going to be a good day. Everything was The Good Place...she didn't know Piz's downfalls yet, if he had a temper or anything bad about him at all. And he liked her...and he missed her.
"I have never seen you giddy, but you are giddy!" TM said to her during the start of her show.
"I don't know that I've ever been giddy," she replied. "But I am now. This is the good part...the part of the relationship where it's not even a relationship yet, but you know that you like each other and that it's going somewhere beautiful. The forced separation where you know the other one misses you and is thinking about you. It's my favorite part."
TM replied "You're right. This is the most beautiful, most pure part. All the looking ahead is full of promise and light with no black spots in it. You've been through so much, you need to embrace this time. Conquer what you have done with your life, and now it's finally changing for the better. Enjoy beautiful!"
She would. She needed to take this break to revel in The Good Place. She went to sleep that night, still smiling even though she hadn't spoken to him once that day. She knew he was also residing in the good place with her.
